Honestly, I never liked the music of Nirvana in any way.
Even before I started listening to SY, i already knew and hated Nirvana!
Once, as a 15 year-old teenager, I bought myself a Nirvana best-of CD and an album by The Smashing Pumpkins at the same time.
And while I felt myself more and more falling in love with the pumpkins-album (it was Mellon Collie and the infinite sadness, i think) i disliked the Nirvana Cd with each more listening. The songs bored me, I couldn't see any ideas or emotions behind them and i didn't like that the band always succeeded in returning to the same chorus in EVERY damned song.
For me Nirvana was (and still is) the worst 90s rockband.
When I stumbled over Sonic Youth years later (and red about their relationship with Nirvana) I tried to give them another chance and bought myself the critically acclaimed Nevermind.
It was a single torture...I forced myself to listen to it 4 times (i really tried to get in some kind of "flow"), but it just felt uninspired and like 12 times "Smells like teenspirit".
I sold it someone at ebay later on.
Yes, i am a big fan of (classic) independent/experimental rock, and I love to listen to bands like Smashing pumpkins, anathema, porcupine tree, jane's addiction, TDB....
But I never ever really got the point of the hype around Nirvana.
Of course, it's a question of personal taste, but what's so magic about Nirvanas boring MTV-pophits???
